Description
Powers cover illustration for the 1963 Ballantine short story collection A Handful of Time by Rosel George Brown.

The cover depicts a beautiful female time traveler stepping out of her "transparent time cube" into the distant past. Rosel was one of very few women publishing SF stories back then. I wonder if Powers made the time traveler female in honor of Rosel?

Hopefully it is the past and her/our future is not in ruins.  Very nice timecube design getting all that geometry and perspective exact so the female figure can be shown in relation..

And it has painting tricks galore, to boot. This guy knew how to place paint.
